Data source: Statistics Canada , Canadian Community Health Survey, Cycle 2.2, 2004 - Share File, Household Weights
Legend:
n Weighted sample size, rounded to nearest 100
E Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) from 16.6% to 33.3%; interpret with caution
F Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) greater than 33.3% or a cell size < 30; data suppressed
Footnotes:
1. First Nations reserves are not included.
2. Bootstrapping techniques were used to produce the coefficient of variation (CV) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
3. "All food insecure" is the sum of moderately and severely food insecure. Results may not add up due to rounding.
4. Results for "All households" reflect the situation of all households (those with children and those without children).
5. Food secure households have food secure adults and children (if present). Moderately food insecure households have moderate food insecurity among either adults or children (if present). Severely food insecure households have severe food insecurity among either adults or children (if present). Households for which adult or child status was missing are not included in the household status estimates.
6. Results on "child status" were obtained from households with children only.
7. Children are defined as individuals younger than 18 years of age.
